Maybe. In order to claim her as a dependent, she will need to qualify under the Qualifying Relative rules. That means she has to meet all four of these criteria:

1. Relationship Test: must be your child, sibling, step-sibling, grandchild, parent, step-parent, grandparent, niece, nephew, in-law, or a member of your household (lived with you the entire year).

2. Gross Income Test: must have earned less than $3,650 of income for the year.

3. Support Test: You must have provided more than half of their support for the year.

4. Dependency Test: They cannot qualify as a dependent as a Qualifying Child for someone else.

If she meets all four tests, then you can claim her as a dependent. Make sure that she does not also claim herself if she files a return, though.
